Bank One Working
for You |
|
In the very near future, INNOVATIONS
will be processing our identification badges (name tags)
in-house. This change will enable us to feature employee
pictures on all ID badges and will result in a faster turn
around time. Adding our employee pictures to our IDs is a huge
advantage for us, as it will help us help our clients meet their
JACHO requirements. We will be implementing a variety of
strategies to get photos of all active nurses; visiting client
facilities during shift change and taking pictures, holding an
open house during National Nurse Week, where we can take
pictures of attendees, and clicking the camera during
their occasional stops at our Brighton and Allen Park offices.
Look for the new photo ID badge in early May.

We Have a Website? |

For those of you that haven’t had the
“pleasure” of meeting me, my name is Adam Smith and I am the
Webmaster for INNOVATIONS. It has recently come to my
attention that the majority of our employees do not
know/understand many of the benefits and services available to
everyone on our website, located at
http://www.hcinnov.com.
I’d like to briefly explain some of the site’s lesser-known
options for our staff’s convenience. If you have ever searched
the keyboard for the “Any Key” or used the CD drive as an
ejectable cup holder, you may want to talk to me in person about
our website, otherwise keep reading and take notes.

INNOVATIONS Invites You... |

In celebration of Nurses Week, INNOVATIONS is
hosting an open house in your honor on Wednesday, May 8,
2002, from 9am to 5pm at both our Allen Park and Brighton
Offices. Be prepared for an enjoyable event including, food,
prizes,
networking opportunities and to pick up a gift
certificate in the amount of $35 to be used towards a BCLS, ACLS
or any other educational course that you choose. Also, at the
open house, you will be able to update the required annual OSHA
testing, receive Hep B/TB tests and complete any other
administrative activities.
In addition, we are planning to kick off our
new name badge project by photographing you at the open house.
We are hopeful that we will be able to have new name badges
featuring your picture by the end of next month. We are
looking forward to seeing you on May 8, 2002. If you have any
questions, please call a service coordinator in the Brighton
office at 877-765-7500 or the Allen Park Office at 877-534-0509.
